They cannot reproduce outside of a living cell
Hello there!
Let's take for example plastic, plastic would take a good while for it to decompose. It wouldn't make sense for it to be "food produce" because food does decompose very quickly. Wood could be the answer, but wood wouldn't take that long for it to decompose, all it could use is some constant water and rain, and then the wood would then give old and just decompose. But even thought that is the case, wood cuttings would be the answer.
Vegetable peels would not take a long time.Most likely, they are probably to fastest in this list above. So, based from your options, your correct answer would be (wood cuttings).
(option a) would be your answer.
I hope you found this helpful
Answer:
Aldehydes have antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and sporicidal activity. These are helpful to destroy the spores of Bacillus subtilis and Clostridium sporogenes. Glutaraldehyde and formaldehyde are commonly used aldehydes in disinfectants.
Quaternary ammonium compounds work by denaturing the proteins of the bacterial or fungal cell, affecting the metabolic reactions of the cell and causing vital substances to leak out of the cell, causing death.
Explanation:
The effects of gamma radiation are investigated by studying plant germination, growth and development, and biochemical characteristics of maize. Maize dry seeds are exposed to a gamma source at doses ranging from 0.1 to 1 kGy. Our results show that the germination potential, expressed through the final germination percentage and the germination index, as well as the physiological parameters of maize seedlings (root and shoot lengths) decreased by increasing the irradiation dose. Moreover, plants derived from seeds exposed at higher doses did not survive more than 10 days. Biochemical differences based on photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids) content revealed an inversely proportional relationship to doses of exposure. Furthermore, the concentration of chlorophyll a was higher than chlorophyll b in both irradiated and non-irradiated seedlings. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy used to evaluate the amount of free radicals induced by gamma ray treatment demonstrates that the relative concentration of radiation-induced free radicals depends linearly on the absorbed
